Glad to finally see this recognition of the plight of whitebark pine. One of the major reasons for its decline is the white pine blister rust, an invasive disease.

Spotted lanternfly has serious impacts on apples and grapes, but we haven't heard much about its effects on native trees. This new study by @emily_lavely and colleagues shows that heavy infestations can cause significant growth reduction in maples. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

A new method to improve surveillance for Hemlock Woolly Adelgid. This allows you to sample the air in a forest and then analyze DNA to see if HWA is present. #foresthealth

The short answer is no, they can't be stopped, but we may be able to manage them with biological control. On the other hand, if we have the political will, we may be able to stop the NEXT invasive forest pest from getting into the country.

A thoughtful article on a subject that has spawned a lot of tree mysticism.

Invasive forest pests are known for killing trees outright, but here's an interesting twist. The spotted-wing drosophila damages native tree fruits, causing early decay and reducing the fruit available for birds and other animals. #foresthealth buff.ly/3DRkyUl

Nice blog by Faith Campbell on an introduced root disease that is impeding efforts to restore American chestnut. It doesn't do much good to breed trees resistant to an insect/pathogen unless we also stop new pests from entering the country. #foresthealth buff.ly/3PX2tZy
